School Report Card
The state's latest School Report
Card, published in May 2007 by the New York State Education
Department for the 2005-2006 school year, demonstrates that
students in our school district continue to exceed the
academic achievements of their counterparts in other New York State public schools.
Five-year trends show that scores have
consistently risen and are above state averages. The report cards
are
released each spring by the Education Department for all public
schools in the state. Please review 2005-06 results for our
schools by clicking on
